Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes. The most recent test in August 2025 at 21,590 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the previous mechanical concerns have been addressed or resolved. The history shows a consistent pattern of upkeep, with the transition from minor advisories in 2023 to a clean sheet in the latest inspection. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, reflecting an average usage of approximately 270 miles per year. Between August 2021 and August 2025, the car covered only 3,898 miles, moving from 17,692 to 21,590 miles. This low frequency suggests the vehicle is likely stored and used sparingly, which often increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, perished seals, and fluid oxidation rather than mechanical wear tear. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the rear fluid leak noted during the July 2024 test at 20,519 miles. While the 2025 test passed without mention, a physical check of the rear axle and gearbox housing is necessary to ensure the leak has not returned or worsened. The advisories for worn tyres in August 2023 at 19,187 miles indicate that the owner occasionally neglected consumable replacements, so the buyer should verify that the current tyres have sufficient tread and no cracking due to low use. Given the extremely low mileage, the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the braking system are paramount. Older vehicles that sit stationary can suffer from internal corrosion that does not always manifest during a standard MOT. Inspect the brake lines for signs of scaling and check the suspension bushes for perish, as the low movement can lead to internal component failure despite a clean digital history.
